I've just remembered about Livejournal

You know, I've lived independently for five years, apparently as a full and genuine adult, and am very, very far away from both my parents for 99% of the year. And I still feel a slight disapproving glare over my shoulder somewhere from three thousand miles to the east when I add an extra spoonful of sugar to lemonade.

The question is - do you enjoy the lemonade all that much more for being so much more aware of your freedom to make it how you like?

The further question is what does that question mean! It's often easy to forget the freedom that we have compared to childhood, especially in the simple things... because seriously, you need more than one flat teaspoonful of Nesquik per glass of milk.
